Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of X-ray inspection technology, and in particular to an X-ray flaw detection device for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform. Background Technology

[0002] A drone platform is a comprehensive system based on unmanned aerial vehicles, integrating core modules such as flight control, mission payload, data link, and ground station. It is widely used in fields such as military reconnaissance, logistics transportation, agricultural plant protection, surveying and mapping, and emergency disaster relief. Its core components include multi-rotor, fixed-wing, or hybrid aircraft, equipped with high-definition cameras, infrared sensors, lidar, or customized equipment. It achieves centimeter-level precise positioning through GPS / RTK and completes complex mission path planning based on autonomous navigation algorithms. The platform supports 4G / 5G or two-way radio communication and transmits data back to the cloud for processing in real time.

[0003] The integrated X-ray flaw detection device on the UAV platform is mainly used in the field of industrial non-destructive testing. By carrying a miniature X-ray machine and a high-sensitivity detector, it can quickly scan the internal defects of complex structures such as bridges, pipelines, and power facilities from the air and generate high-resolution digital images in real time. Existing UAV platform X-ray flaw detection devices have a fixed angle of the detection head body and usually adopt a rigid installation method, which fixes the X-ray emitter and detector in a single direction. This requires repeated adjustment of the UAV's posture during inspection to cover different parts of complex structures, which greatly reduces the efficiency of operation. When inspecting curved workpieces or hidden areas, the fixed-angle X-rays are difficult to penetrate the part to be tested vertically, which can easily cause image distortion or missed detection.

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an X-ray flaw detection device for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, including a UAV platform body 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixed to one side of the UAV platform body 1. An adjusting member 3 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 2. A housing 4 is provided on one side of the adjusting member 3. A driving mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the housing 4. A guide plate 6 is provided inside the driving mechanism 5. A support plate 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 4. A rotating mechanism 8 is provided at the top of the support plate 7. A connecting ring 9 is provided inside the rotating mechanism 8. A detection head body 10 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting ring 9.

[0023] The UAV platform body 1 can be fixed to the fixing plate 2. The fixing plate 2 has a groove and a sliding groove on its inner wall. The design of the adjusting component 3 allows it to slide along the sliding groove of the fixing plate 2. The adjusting component 3 drives the outer shell 4 to move, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the height of the detection head body 10. This avoids the problem of not being able to adjust the X-ray focal length when facing objects of different thicknesses or depths. The design of the drive mechanism 5 can drive the guide plate 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting ring 9 to rotate laterally. The connecting ring 9 then drives the detection head body 10 to rotate laterally. The outer shell 4 is supported by a support plate. 7. The rotating mechanism 8 can be installed. The design of the rotating mechanism 8 can drive the connecting ring 9 to rotate longitudinally, thereby driving the detection head body 10 to rotate longitudinally. This achieves the effect of multi-angle adjustment of the detection head body 10, avoiding the problem that the X-ray emitter and detector are fixed in a single orientation, which requires repeated adjustment of the UAV position to cover different parts of the complex structure during inspection. The detection head body 10 in this application has the same structure and working principle as the X-ray flaw detection head in application number 201922164691.X, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The drive mechanism 5 includes a first motor 51 fixed to one side of the housing 4. The output end of the first motor 51 is fixed with a connecting plate 52, and the inner wall of the connecting plate 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the guide plate 6.

[0025] The outer casing 4 can fix the first motor 51. The first motor 51 drives the connecting plate 52 to rotate, and the connecting plate 52 drives the guide plate 6 to rotate, so that the connecting ring 9 of the guide plate 6 rotates laterally. In turn, the connecting ring 9 drives the detection head body 10 to rotate laterally, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the lateral angle of the detection head body 10 and improves the flexibility of the device.

[0026] The rotating mechanism 8 includes a second motor 81 fixed to the top of the support plate 7. The output end of the second motor 81 is fixed with a connecting frame 82, and the inner wall of the connecting frame 82 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting ring 9.

[0027] The support plate 7 can fix the second motor 81. The second motor 81 drives the connecting frame 82 to rotate, and the connecting frame 82 drives the connecting ring 9 to rotate longitudinally. This causes the connecting ring 9 to drive the detection head body 10 to rotate longitudinally, which facilitates subsequent longitudinal angle adjustment of the detection head body 10 and improves the flexibility of the device.

[0028] Example 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0029] Specifically, the adjusting component 3 includes a sliding plate 31 that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 2. A limiting rod 32 is inserted into the inner wall of the sliding plate 31, and the outer side of the limiting rod 32 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed plate 2.

[0030] The inner wall of the slide plate 31 has multiple grooves. By pulling out the limiting rod 32, the limiting rod 32 is separated from the fixed plate 2 and the slide plate 31. The slide plate 31 slides along the groove of the fixed plate 2 to the distance to be adjusted. Then the limiting rod 32 is inserted into the groove of the fixed plate 2 and the slide plate 31. This facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the slide plate 31 and limits its movement, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0031] Specifically, a protective box 11 is fixed to the top of the drone platform body 1, and a film box 12 is fixed inside the protective box 11.

[0032] The drone platform body 1 can fix the protective box 11. The design of the film box 12 can facilitate the storage of X-ray film, improving the convenience of recording by the device.

[0033] Specifically, a support column 13 is fixed to the top of the protective box 11, and a fluorescent intensifying screen 14 is fixed to one end of the support column 13.

[0034] The protective box 11 can fix the fluorescent intensifying screen 14 through the support column 13. The design of the fluorescent intensifying screen 14 can facilitate the real-time display of the detection environment, thus improving the convenience of the device.

[0035] Example 3: This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0036] Specifically, a door 15 is fixed to one side of the protective box 11 by bolts, and a fixing seat 16 is fixed to one side of the door 15.

[0037] The box door 15 can be opened and closed by rotating along one side of the bolt protective box 11. The fixed seat 16 has a sliding groove, and the box door 15 can be fixed to the fixed seat 16, which facilitates the subsequent insertion rod 17 to slide along the sliding groove of the fixed seat 16, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0038] Specifically, the inner wall of the fixed base 16 is slidably connected to the insertion rod 17, and one end of the insertion rod 17 is fixed with a handle 18.

[0039] Pulling the handle 18 moves the insertion rod 17, which slides along the groove of the fixed seat 16, facilitating the subsequent retraction of the spring 19 and improving the flexibility of the device.

[0040] Specifically, a spring 19 is provided on the outer side of the insertion rod 17, and one end of the spring 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing seat 16. A support seat 20 is fixed on one side of the box door 15, and the inner wall of the support seat 20 is slidably connected to the outer side of the insertion rod 17.

[0041] The inner wall of the support base 20 has a groove. When the film needs to be replaced, the handle 18 is pulled to move the insertion rod 17, which slides along the groove of the fixed base 16. This causes the insertion rod 17 to retract the spring 19, and the door 15 is then opened and closed to replace the film. After replacement, the door 15 is closed and the handle 18 is released, causing the spring 19 to stretch and return to its original position. The spring 19 then causes the insertion rod 17 to insert into the groove on the inner wall of the support base 20, which facilitates locking after the door 15 is closed, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0042] In use, the operator first adjusts the limiting rod 32 according to the required depth of the environment to be detected. By pulling out the limiting rod 32, the limiting rod 32 is separated from the fixed plate 2 and the sliding plate 31. The sliding plate 31 slides along the groove of the fixed plate 2 to the required adjustment distance. Then, the limiting rod 32 is inserted into the groove of the fixed plate 2 and the sliding plate 31 to facilitate subsequent adjustment and limiting of the sliding plate 31. Next, the first motor 51 is turned on according to the required angle of the environment to be detected. The first motor 51 drives the connecting plate 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide plate 6 to rotate, causing the connecting ring 9 of the guide plate 6 to rotate laterally. This, in turn, causes the detection head body 10 to rotate laterally, thus allowing for lateral angle adjustment of the detection head body 10. Then, the second motor 81 is turned on, which drives the connecting frame 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting ring 9. By rotating the connecting ring 9 longitudinally, the detection head body 10 can be rotated longitudinally, thereby adjusting the longitudinal angle of the detection head body 10. This achieves the effect of multi-angle adjustment of the detection head body 10, avoiding the problem of the X-ray emitter and detector being fixed in a single orientation, which requires repeated adjustment of the UAV's posture to cover different parts of complex structures during detection. When the film needs to be replaced, the handle 18 is pulled to move the insertion rod 17, which slides along the groove of the fixed seat 16, causing the insertion rod 17 to retract the spring 19. Then, the box door 15 is opened and closed to replace the film. After replacement, the box door 15 is closed, the handle 18 is released, and the spring 19 is stretched and reset. The spring 19 drives the insertion rod 17 to insert into the groove on the inner wall of the support seat 20, thereby locking the box door 15 after it is closed.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
